King's Casino as a poker hub in Europe
1) Status and scale
The largest poker room in Europe. King's has hundreds of seats and dozens of tables on a daily basis; the location has appeared in guidebooks for years as the region's most spacious poker platform.
WSOP Europe House. Since 2017, the WSOPE series has finally "moved" to Rozvadov and since then has been held here annually (except for force majeure pauses in the history of WSOPE until 2017).
Resort format. The complex has its own 4/5 accommodation, swimming pool and SPA, restaurants and round-the-clock infrastructure right next to the poker floor.
2) History and DNA of the site
The idea to build a "poker house" in the border Rozvadov (literally near the German border) was born by entrepreneur and collector Leon Zuckernik in the early 2000s. The opening of King's Casino took place on June 26, 2003, and since 2009 the site has headed for total poker focus. By 2017, a large-scale reconstruction and rebranding at King's Resort was completed.
3) Tournament ecosystem: from "micro" to bracelets
WSOP Europe. Annually in the fall - a festival of bracelet events, headlining with Main Event and seminars/sattelites; main event guarantees in recent years have reached multi-million euros.
Calendar 24/7. In addition to WSOPE, there are permanent series of regional brands and King's own festivals: diplomatic stacks, PLO weeks, weekend madnes, ladies' events. Information about active series is regularly published on the website of the resort and in professional media.
Qualification and satellites. Wide entrance stairs - from online partner qualifiers to offline satellites on site.
4) Cash games: Range of limits and disciplines
NLHE/PLO 24/7. Basic limits - from €1/€ 3 NLHE and €2/€ 2 PLO, with the transition to medium and high rates in the peaks of festivals.
Highstakes and mix games. On large series, PLO and mixed-discipline tables regularly gather, hall logistics and the number of tables allow you to support the tournament and cash pools in parallel.
5) Player infrastructure: "live in a poker room"
Accommodation. Numbers 4/5 in the buildings of the complex; part of the funds - literally "in the elevator" from the poker floor.
SPA and restoration. Swimming pool, saunas (including Japanese/Swedish), fitness; convenient for rest days between Day 1 and Day 2.
Food and service. Restaurants, buffets and bars are focused on the poker schedule - with late kitchens and quick service.
Logistics. Position on the highway near the German border (convenient by car); You can also get from Prague/Nuremberg airports.
6) Why this is where the "center of Europe" is for poker
1. Capacity and rhythm. Great hall = large fields, many simultaneous events and stable cache pools - even on weekdays.
2. WSOPE as an "anchor." The bracelet series fixed in the minds of the players the idea of a "European Vegas" in Rozvadov; media events of the series every year increase the recognition of the location.
3. Full cycle "in place." Housing, food, wellness and playing in one cluster - less logistics, more poker focus.
4. Geography. The border location makes it easier for players from Germany/Austria and Central Europe to enter.
7) Visit practice: How to plan a trip
Booking in advance. On the dates of WSOPE and major series - accommodation is bought out quickly; follow the announcements of the resort and partner operators.
Bankroll and format. If you are a tournament player, plan a few starting days and a budget for side events; if cache - mark a comfortable limit in advance (for example, €2/€ 5) and peak timings (evening/night).
Restoration. Build SPA/sleep and meals into the schedule - long days in the tournament require mode.
8) Responsible play and etiquette
King's is a licensed site in the Czech Republic: KYC is valid at check-in and at the hotel, the Responsible Gaming standard is in the hall (limits, assistance if necessary). Etiquette - neat smart-casual, respect for the dealer and players, banning photos/videos at tables without permission. (General RG requirements for Czech licensed sites.)
9) What's important to know about owner and brand
Leon Zuckernik is the entrepreneur and collector by whom the King's brand is recognized; in 2003 he opened a casino in Rozvadov, and in 2014 received the Industry Person of the Year award at the European Poker Awards. Today, there are several objects under the King's umbrella, including the Prague site.
